Abstract
The purposes of this investigation were to compare ex-smokers to participants in a smoking withdrawal programme on a number of personality characteristics and to detect consistent phenomena associated with successful quitting. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups on the personality characteristics which were measured. Successful ex-smokers usually have tried at least once and failed, quit for current health reasons, experienced cravings and discomfort, and used substitutes.
